Great Minds think alike...I'm due for a new one this year. Glad to hear all the advise before I venture out to shop.

Thanks

I bought a $5000 mattress and it was no better than a $2500 that I had before.
BUT
If you sometimes sleep on your stomach spring for a pillow for front sleepers.
That will make a difference for sure.

Do an allergy test if you haven't already. I found out the hard way I was allergic to Latex. Not from a mattress (Thank G*d, could you imagine!!), but from a job I had that required wearing sanitary gloves. Switched to vinyl - do they make vinyl mattresses?

I found a video of David, back when he used to sell mattresses.

Funny, I was just thinking about this too. Mine isn't as old as Pete's, but it's time for a change. My dad has a memory foam in his spare room and I always sleep great when I visit. He said he didn't care for it though so it depends on the person...

I bought a 10 Inch Cloud Tempurdic mattress 8 years ago. Incredible. Both wifey and I sleep better. No more snoring, toss n turn and never feel her move. Best purchase as a couple.

Drawbacks, price, having to buy pedestal frame to not have to buy expensive termur bed for mattress, hot in summer - I used to be much heavier and without air in humid Iowa summer I had to insulate the bed with comforter's to keep bed cool, not bad now lost 55 pounds.

Cloud was not cheapest Tempur, bout middle of the road. Look into them. Understand not buying a name, memory foam is memory foam. Not true. Buddy bought knock off Tempur type for less than a grand, his has compressed down and can clearly see where it has lost original push back, his has deep body impression and is single. Out actual Tempur supports wife and I plus one of our four kids often and remains firm and supportive.

Serta iComfort is a better, cheaper alternative to the Tempurpedic . And they have cooling gels infused into the memory foam.
